Facilities
The Safety and Emergency Response Training (SERT) Centre is the satellite campus of the Offshore Safety and Survival Centre (OSSC). The main campus of the SERT Centre is situated on the premises of the Stephenville International Airport. The central feature of the SERT Centre is a purpose built, state of the art, air-crash training field with a large aircraft mock-up.
The Centre has a large purpose built mock-up for conduct of land based firefighter training and a range of facilities for specialist firefighter and emergency response training. These facilities include a rope rescue tower and a confined space training facility.
The SERT Centre is outfitted with a large array of firefighting and emergency response vehicles and equipment. This includes two Waltek C-5500 ARFF Crash Vehicles and one Amertek 2500 L ARFF Crash Vehicle.
The ability to use gasoline fires has given the SERT Centre the ability to offer a realistic training experience. The SERT Centre also has the ability to provide a variety of emergency response training from Firefighting to Marine Survival. On site facilities and equipment include a rope rescue training tower, mobile confined space trailer and several current generation air crash vehicles, to name a few.
